Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Another Canadian Boxer In Coma
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL — Another Canadian boxer is in a coma after a lost
by KO. May 27th in Fredericton, New Brunswick, the Canadian
light heavyweight David Whittom (12-24-1), from Québec City,
lost by KO in the 10th round against Kary Kopas (8-11-2),
from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Whittom stayed on the canvas
for several minutes. He was escorted on a stretcher,
transported to an hospital, and he is in a coma since that
time.
Tim Hague (1-3-0), a fighter from Edmonton, Alberta, is
living the same situation as Whittom. Thursday evening in
Edmonton, he lost by KO in the second round against Adam
Braithwood (8-1-0), a fighter from Victoria, British
Colombia, and he is also in a coma in an Edmonton hospital.
Hague is a former UFC ultimate fighter.
With Daniel “Twitch” Franco who is currently recovering from
a similar injury, that makes three North American fighters
who have suffered the same injury over the past month.
